The first and second states of this print show that Callot first completed the figures and then added the background. The images are part of a series made to serve as models for drawing in pen and ink, demonstrating, on the right, contour, and on the left, shading. Despite the title of this print, the man is wearing a Hungarian costume, not a Turkish one. Callot subscribed to the cultural stereotype of the time by associating this “eastern” man with warfare, adding a scene of violent pillaging as background. The brutal events behind him belie the figure’s graceful posture and elegant costume.
